Related Art

Application scenarios of future wireless communication systems arebecoming increasingly diversified, and different application scenarioshave different performance demands on systems. In order to meetdifferent performance requirements of various application scenarios, aresearch project on access to unlicensed spectrum under New Radio (NR)was also approved at 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Radio AccessNetwork (RAN) #75 plenary session, the research project is expected tobe completed in R15 version, and WI will be started in R16 version tostandardize related technologies.

In Long Term Evolution (LTE) License Assisted Access (LAA) project, atransmitter (base station or User Equipment) needs to perform ListenBefore Talk (LBT) before transmitting data on unlicensed spectrum toensure that no interface is incurred to other ongoing wirelesstransmissions on the unlicensed spectrum.

SUMMARY

The inventors have found through researches that in NR-Unlicensedspectrum (NR-U) system, and especially in NR-U system deployed in StandAlone (SA) scenario, due to limitations such as Max Channel Occupy Time(MCOT), LBT and etc., transmission time of uplink data based onscheduling and uplink control information cannot always be accuratelypredicted by base station, which brings new problems to scheduling ofuplink transmissions. Considering that beamforming based on large-scaleantenna array will be widely used in NR system, channel occupation andinterference conditions in different beamforming directions will be verydifferent. Therefore, the influence of beam direction needs to be takeninto consideration when LBT is performed, which makes transmission timeof uplink data and uplink control information more difficult to predict.

In FIG. 3 , the radio protocolarchitecture for a UE and a gNB is represented by three layers, whichare a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1)is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of variousPHY layers. The L1 is called PHY 301 in the present disclosure. Thelayer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the linkbetween the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, L2 305comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio LinkControl (RLC) sublayer 303 and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)sublayer 304. All the three sublayers terminate at the gNBs of thenetwork side.

Embodiment 4

Embodiment 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a New Radio (NR) nodeand a UE, as shown in FIG. 4 . FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating aUE 450 and a gNB 410 that are in communication with each other in accessnetwork.

The gNB 410 comprises a controller/processor 475, a memory 476, areceiving processor 470, a transmitting processor 416, a multi-antennareceiving processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 471, atransmitter/receiver 418 and an antenna 420.

The UE 450 comprises a controller/processor 459, a memory 460, a datasource 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, amulti-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receivingprocessor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454 and an antenna 452.

In downlink (DL) transmission, at the gNB 410, a higher-layer packetfrom a core network is provided to the controller/processor 475. Thecontroller/processor 475 provides a function of the L2 layer. In DLtransmission, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression,encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing betweena logical channel and a transport channel, and radio resource allocationfor the UE 450 based on various priorities. The controller/processor 475is also in charge of HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet,and a signaling to the UE 450. The transmitting processor 416 and themulti-antenna transmitting processor 471 perform various signalprocessing functions used for the L1 layer (that is, PHY). Thetransmitting processor 416 performs coding and interleaving so as toensure an FEC (Forward Error Correction) at the UE 450 side, and themapping to signal clusters corresponding to each modulation scheme(i.e., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK, M-QAM, etc.). The multi-antenna transmittingprocessor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, includingcodebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, andbeamforming on encoded and modulated symbols to generate one or morespatial streams. The transmitting processor 416 then maps each spatialstream into a subcarrier. The mapped symbols are multiplexed with areference signal (i.e., pilot frequency) in time domain and/or frequencydomain, and then they are assembled through Inverse Fast FourierTransform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying time-domainmulticarrier symbol streams. After that the multi-antenna transmittingprocessor 471 performs transmission analog precoding/beamforming on thetime-domain multicarrier symbol streams. Each transmitter 418 converts abaseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antennatransmitting processor 471 into a radio frequency (RF) stream. Eachradio frequency stream is later provided to different antennas 420.

In downlink (DL) transmission, at the UE 450, each receiver 454 receivesa signal via a corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recoversinformation modulated to the RF carrier, converts the radio frequencystream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream to be provided to thereceiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and themulti-antenna receiving processor 458 perform signal processingfunctions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458performs receiving analog precoding/beamforming on a basebandmulticarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receivingprocessor 456 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream afterreceiving the analog precoding/beamforming from time domain intofrequency domain using FFT. In frequency domain, a physical layer datasignal and a reference signal are de-multiplexed by the receivingprocessor 456, wherein the reference signal is used for channelestimation, while the data signal is subjected to multi-antennadetection in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 to recover any UE450-targeted spatial stream. Symbols on each spatial stream aredemodulated and recovered in the receiving processor 456 to generate asoft decision. Then the receiving processor 456 decodes andde-interleaves the soft decision to recover the higher-layer data andcontrol signal transmitted on the physical channel by the gNB 410. Next,the higher-layer data and control signal are provided to thecontroller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 performsfunctions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 can be connectedto a memory 460 that stores program code and data. The memory 460 can becalled a computer readable medium. In downlink transmission, thecontroller/processor 459 provides demultiplexing between a transportchannel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, headerdecompression and control signal processing so as to recover ahigher-layer packet from the core network. The higher-layer packet islater provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer, or variouscontrol signals can be provided to the L3 layer for processing. Thecontroller/processor 459 also performs error detection using ACK and/orNACK protocols as a way to support HARQ operation.

In uplink (UL) transmission, at the UE 450, the data source 467 isconfigured to provide a higher-layer packet to the controller/processor459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2layer. Similar to a transmitting function of the gNB 410 described in DLtransmission, the controller/processor 459 performs header compression,encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing betweena logical channel and a transport channel based on radio resourceallocation of the gNB 410 so as to provide the L2 layer functions usedfor the user plane and the control plane. The controller/processor 459is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet,and a signaling to the gNB 410. The transmitting processor 468 performsmodulation mapping and channel coding. The multi-antenna transmittingprocessor 457 implements digital multi-antenna spatial precoding,including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, aswell as beamforming. Following that, the generated spatial streams aremodulated into multicarrier/single-carrier symbol streams by thetransmitting processor 468, and then modulated symbol streams aresubjected to analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antennatransmitting processor 457 and provided from the transmitters 454 toeach antenna 452. Each transmitter 454 first converts a baseband symbolstream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 into aradio frequency symbol stream, and then provides the radio frequencysymbol stream to the antenna 452.

In uplink (UL) transmission, the function of the gNB 410 is similar tothe receiving function of the UE 450 described in DL transmission. Eachreceiver 418 receives a radio frequency signal via a correspondingantenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signal into abaseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antennareceiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receivingprocessor 470 and multi-antenna receiving processor 472 collectivelyprovide functions of the L1 layer. The controller/processor 475 providesfunctions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 475 can be connectedwith the memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476can be called a computer readable medium. In UL transmission, thecontroller/processor 475 provides de-multiplexing between a transportchannel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, headerdecompression, control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layerpacket from the UE 450. The higher-layer packet coming from thecontroller/processor 475 may be provided to the core network. Thecontroller/processor 475 can also perform error detection using ACKand/or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.
